I agree with aid to the third world properly delivered

Aid is good, when properly directed. Better still is trade. All over Africa there are farmers who could provide cheap food for Europe, but are not allowed to trade with the Euroreich because of import tarrifs and other trade barriers. Unfortunately, as you probably know, the cowardly leaders of the EU would rather apply the sticking plaster of aid (with taxpayers money) to impoverished African countries than reform the CAP. After all if the French get upset they set fire to things, (who says the offspring off France's immigrants aren't properly intergrated INTO phpbb_the French way of life
). basically I see the CAP as a bribe, paying rural French voters, and those of Italy and Greece, plus of course their leaders, to support political intergration. Unfortunately most aid never reaches the people it is intended for, most of it ends up as 'Mercs for Jerks'.
You are right about UKIP needing to change from a pressure group INTO phpbb_a fully fledged political party.
John, welcome to UKIP, welcome to the forum, I look forward to reading your postings, but above all have fun :!:
